About this Item

3 Graphic Works by Otto Hofmann. 3 Silk-screen Prints signed by the artist with an essay by Elisabetta Longari. 70 x 100 cm Otto Hofmann (28 April 1907 in Essen 23 July 1996 in Pompeiana) was a German painter. From 1928 to 1930 Hofmann studied at the Bauhaus in Dessau, where he learned from Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky. In 1930, the Bauhaus set up its own exhibition for his works and in the same year he was invited by the Jenaer Kunstverein for the Young Artists from the Bauhaus Dessau exhibition. When the National Socialists took power, his work was banned as degenerate and he fled to Switzerland and Paris as a member of the KPD. In 1934 he worked for Paul Klee in Bern. In 1935 he returned to Germany, married Hanna Stirnemann and lived in seclusion in Hainichen near Dornburg, where the couple worked closely with the ceramist Otto Lindig. In 1939 Hofmann was drafted into military service and sent to the Eastern Front. In 1945 he was taken prisoner by the Soviets.[1] After his release he moved to Rudolstadt in Thuringia in 1946, where he resumed his artistic activity. Since his work was not appreciated in the GDR either,[2] he moved to West Berlin in 1950, where he received the Berlin Art Prize in 1953 and then lived as an artist in Paris from 1953 to 1965. Between 1966 and 1975 Hofmann taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin. From 1976 he lived and worked in Pompeiana until his death. Seller Inventory # 25275
